I didn't see the original message, and commenting without context
isn't easy, but apparently the implication was that some small country
with a powerful neighbour was about to suffer the same horrible fate
as Finland in the hands of Soviet Union.  Without details I'll settle
on noting that there might be worse alternatives than living quietly
the way you want and keeping your mouth shut about the nasty habits
of the dragon next door, especially when all you can do about them
is get them directed at yourself.
